"It was interesting that you brought up Hiroshima. 'Cause I was just having a big argument with three of my relatives–they're all Catholic conservatives–and they said that we warned the Japanese about what we were going to do, and then we bombed Hiroshima, and they still wouldn't come to the negotiating table, and we had to bomb Nagasaki. And I know that can't be right: are there any sources you know of that I can use to challenge that?" –a college graduate in his mid-twenties, to me and Chan Davis at Wooden Shoe Books last week.

Welcome to Ambling along the Aqueduct

Welcome! This blog is a forum for discussing all things Aqueductian. Conversation, of course, is one of our themes, derived from the notion of feminist sf as a conversation, as explored in "For a Genealogy of Feminist SF: Reflections on Women, Feminism, and Science Fiction, 1818-1960" (reprinted in The Grand Conversation, Vol. 1 of the Conversation Pieces series and available online as an essay titled "That Only A Feminist"). So please do comment freely and often, and if you're interested in making a guest post, write to conversation@aqueductpress.com.
